SOLVED: Fragment Eight: MAGIQ! (Calling The Corners)

My thoughts on potential guilds associated with each of these passages:

Weatherwatch: First look upon the red horizon
All awakened by my force
I am the mother and the son, the rising sun my source.

Gossmere: Morning’s called me many names
Gravity and untouched things
Though I am but a force unseen carried on imagined wings

Flinterforge: As fire hangs midway in the sky
Move the ground to summon me
But only fire and force will show what I can truly be.

Ebenguard: Day grows weary, night awakes
Five moons call to the water
A careful step upon the land but sea is too my daughter

Thornmouth: Night black curtains drape the world
Memory and misery, rage and reason too
All are born inside of me, and I am born in you

Balimora: The darkened world is stirring now
Before dawn breaks its silence
Life and death move hand in hand, the minuet of violence

Maybe we can go literal on this thing and say “double you is the total”?

Cags responded to Lauren again:

Excellent work. Study it carefully but don’t put all your faith in it.

Element guesses too:

Weatherwatch: Light
First look upon the red horizon
All awakened by my force
I am the mother and the son, the rising sun my source.

Gossmere: Air
Morning’s called me many names
Gravity and untouched things
Though I am but a force unseen carried on imagined wings

Flinterforge: Fire
As fire hangs midway in the sky
Move the ground to summon me
But only fire and force will show what I can truly be.

Ebenguard: Water
Day grows weary, night awakes
Five moons call to the water
A careful step upon the land but sea is too my daughter

Thornmouth: Darkness
Night black curtains drape the world
Memory and misery, rage and reason too
All are born inside of me, and I am born in you

Balimora: Earth
The darkened world is stirring now
Before dawn breaks its silence
Life and death move hand in have, the minuet of violence

That makes sense. The sun is a source of light. So each one is a riddle and guild.

Also let’s assume we’re looking for letters WTOTAL. That’s our L.

Morning’s called me many names
Gravity and untouched things
Though I am but a force unseen carried on imagined wings

Thought maybe?

We may have to match them to the verse in addition to finding the name of the element.

For water I was thinking.

As fire hangs midway in the sky
Move the ground to summon me
But only fire and force will show what I can truly be.

Move the ground to summon me. Sounds kinda like digging a well?

Maybe they aren’t as conventional as I was making them out to be originally. Maybe based more on the guilds?

Light
First look upon the red horizon
All awakened by my force
I am the mother and the son, the rising sun my source.

???
Morning’s called me many names
Gravity and untouched things
Though I am but a force unseen carried on imagined wings

Metal
As fire hangs midway in the sky
Move the ground to summon me
But only fire and force will show what I can truly be.

Earth
Day grows weary, night awakes
Five moons call to the water
A careful step upon the land but sea is too my daughter

Knowledge
Night black curtains drape the world
Memory and misery, rage and reason too
All are born inside of me, and I am born in you

Chaos
The darkened world is stirring now
Before dawn breaks its silence
Life and death move hand in have, the minuet of violence

Well I could definitely see how Weatherwatch and light go together. I would have picked Fire over Light as a first guess, but there definitely could be clues in the guilds.

Edit:

Morning’s called me many names
Gravity and untouched things
Though I am but a force unseen carried on imagined wings

A force carried on imagined wings. Time? Time does fly after all.

@Robert I like that idea

Our W could be Wisdom instead of knowledge (sorry Book for posting a million things but I have lots of ideas lol)

Okay, I did read through this thread prior to my post, so I was sort of aware of a lot of that. In particular, the logical train that led to Morgan Library was particularly interesting.

So, who is Lauren? What I was able to read to catch up doesn’t account for when she entered the picture or who she is.

I start typing this knowing Kelsey will beat me to the punch

Hi Chordie and welcome to the mad house!

Laureen is an assistant/student to the Cagliostro. We’ve been peeping on emails between the two for about a month now. She is trying to find the book that hides people from magic so she can find a way to save Cags from his impending death at the end of the month. If you look for the thread for The Cagliostro you should see the whole sorted story.
